Survey: Christianity declining rapidly in US, down 12 percentage points in last decade
(Worthy News) – A new survey shows American Christianity is declining steadily, with young Americans increasingly identifying as unaffiliated with any religious group.
The survey, conducted by Pew Research Center, follows additional studies over the past couple decades that have shown membership in Christian churches declining in the United States. The latest study also reflects past findings that millennials, those born in the last couple decades of the 20th century, are especially nonreligious and unlikely to attend church services regularly.
Using data compiled in 2018 and 2019, the survey found 65% of Americans identify as Christian, down 12 percentage points from 2009. Protestants declined from 51% to 43% as a percentage of the overall population, while Catholics dropped from 23% to 20%. Overall church attendance also dropped, with only a minority now attending church monthly or more often. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
